Licensing

The Veeam Plug-in management functionality is licensed by the number of instances. Instances are units (or tokens) that you can use to protect your computers with Veeam Plug-ins. If the license is not valid or out of resources, Veeam Plug-in backup jobs fail.

The number of instances that you can use depends on the type of license installed in Veeam Backup & Replication:

  • For Veeam Universal Licensing (VUL)

You can use Veeam Plug-ins with all license packages (Veeam Backup Essentials, Veeam Backup & Replication, Veeam Availability Suite).

Keep in mind that if you use the Rental license type, functionality of Veeam Plug-ins is supported only for the Enterprise Plus edition of Veeam Backup & Replication.

  • For Perpetual Socket license

Functionality of Veeam Plug-ins is supported only for the Enterprise Plus edition of Veeam Backup & Replication.

For the full list of license packages, see this Veeam webpage.
